Light and Easy Chicken Chili

I’m a bit conflicted by our weather right now. Here we are, smack in the middle of what should be snow season, but I’m staring at dry mountains and planning for a walk in the near 70ºF heat. Meanwhile, my friends out east are buried in the snow that we need! My internal calendar is craving warm comfort food, but the temperatures are telling me to lighten up. Enter this easy chicken chili. It’s warm and nourishing for winter needs, yet low fat and simple enough to take mealtime right into spring … and even into the chili cook-off season of summer. Let’s face it, recipes like this easy chicken chili just have year round appeal.

This easy chicken chili is rich with spices, but not overly spicy. Does that make sense? It was created to be friendly for the whole family by Chef Mark Garcia of the McCormick Kitchens, but I recommend serving hot sauce on the side for those heat-loving chili connoisseurs.

Yeah, the weather is doing all sorts of crazy things this year. We’re having abnormally nice winter here in ND, while I hear all the crazy blizzards in the east coast. This chicken chili sounds fantastic though. Will make it before winter is over. 🙂
